This week, Tim and I discuss the music of Faith No more, Necro/Kool G rap and the Ultramagnetic MC’s. I also further my quest to let everyone know how much I truly hate cats…cause I really , really do. While Tim agrees with me, I’m not totally sure he actually watched the video judging from his reaction. It should unite us, not divide us.

For a different take on Patton, check out Mondo Cane:
Pretty cool, he’s covering old italian war time pop songs with an orchestra, but its nicely done.
I’ve been on a big FNM kick lately, and was surprised at how well their stuff is put together considering their perennial one-hit-wonder status.
Lovage as well. He can sing and does some interesting stuff for sure…i just have no interest in FNM’s brand of music.
I don’t think G Rap is THAT bad on that song, it’s just a really boring loop for him to go over. The worst part is Necro’s hook where he namechecks a mediocre rock band that no one else has even thought about since 2003. It always makes me uncomfortable when rappers bring their questionable or out-of-touch rock preferences into their lyrics. Big Boi onced ruined an entire song by namechecking Coldplay.
I just found out about these columns, and read almost 40 of them in a row. Your commentary is priceless. You and Tim are the new Beavis and Butthead of the music video review game
